Jimmy Johnson, the Hall of Fame coach, was inducted into the Dallas Cowboys Ring of Honor during a halftime ceremony attended by Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who performed the induction, and various Cowboys legends. ESPN telecast the event live as part of their coverage of the Lions at Cowboys game, with commentators Troy Aikman and Buck. Johnson's contribution to the team and the significance of the honor were highlighted by his quotes, 'I don’t think anyone can ever imagine what this means to me,' and 'The two of us, working together, made history.' The induction was described as long overdue by commentators, with many expressing their congratulations and some speculating that the 'curse' may finally be lifted, potentially leading the Cowboys to Super Bowl aspirations.

Damn! It was incredibly special to see Jimmy Johnson finally inducted into the @dallascowboys ring of honor. The bad news — my concern — is that the curse may finally be lifted. They may actually challenge for a Super Bowl now. So be it! Jerry, my Libra Brother, ya did the right…

There are very few hires in sports history that were as daring, revolutionary and impactful as @JimmyJohnson's in 1989. He's belonged in the @DallasCowboys Ring of Honor for decades. It's about time his name's up there. Congrats, Jimmy.
I grew up hating the Cowboys but this has been LONG overdue for Jimmy Johnson!!

The @dallascowboys will finally put Jimmy Johnson in their ring of honor tonight — and with @TroyAikman in the booth. Jerry Jones will probably have every living Cowboys legend in the house too. Perfect recipe for a pelt-on-wall Dan Campbell Era @Lions type win. Fun stuff.
On a day that Jimmy Johnson will be inducted into the @dallascowboys Ring of Honor, we look back on the career of the Hall of Fame coach. https://t.co/DW7h1IRoNW
Finally, @jimmyjohnson enters Dallas Ring of Honor tongiht. His chapter "Jerry and Me" is good reading for the work he did getting there (and why this night with Jerry Jones took so long) https://t.co/PGHqGdgZgc
A reminder that @espn will telecast live tomorrow night’s halftime ceremony in which #Cowboys owner Jerry Jones inducts @JimmyJohnson into the Ring of Honor. It’s all part of our coverage of #Lions at #Cowboys with @TroyAikman @Buck and @saltersl https://t.co/QIZBRZKIFW
